I think I really like the trufiber GTS-3 the best, but I'm a little bit hesitant about the functional intake and extractors since it will be my daily drive. Would there be any issues with water coming into the engine bay through the ram air or heat extractors? And would it work fine with a cold air intake?

a guy in my club has the Trufiber GTS-3 hood and hasn't had any issues so far with it being out in the weather...and it's outside all day, everyday. a week after he installed it on the car it stormed really bad and when I asked him how it was, he said he had no issues with it. the only thing he mentioned was possibly drilling some drain holes in the underside of the ram air part so the water that gets in will drain out instead of just sitting...but I don't know if he ever got around to it or not, will have to find out at our next meeting in Jan.
